Removing pin from Hydraulic Ram

[@Y0u.kn0w.wh0]

I’m so happy it’s starting to get closer and closer to lawn season, more videos from my favorite people. Have a blessed one Connor!

[@johnhamilton9229]

Good for you for over coming your challenge. Can’t wait to see part 2.

[@Squeezedsn95]

Just a suggestion, I assume you have completed the job already, use the bolt pulling setup like you had on one side (place tension on the pin) then hit the other side with the hammer. In an ideal situation you would use a spacer and all thread (grade 8) long enough to receive the entire pin and with the combination constant pressure coupled with the shock of the hammer it should come out easier.

[@Squeezedsn95]

Do the similar thing to install it.

[@alainapotaduh]

Way to bang one out, Connor! You've been at it for a while.

[@monstercoatingsnyc]

I have practically the same hook-lift just one size smaller. I'm in need of that same piston rebuild myself and my top pin was not as difficult as yours but the bottom pin is my issue now. I was thinking of drilling and tapping the pin and using the same puller myself but also using a hydraulic ram pushing on the other side or hammering while pulling as well. Let you know how it went when I'm finally done getting it removed.

[@caseysanguins9490]

Ok, late to the game but I just learnt something. Heat the end of the pin and then use wax, like a tea light candle, melted on the by the hot pin, then pound it out.

[@adamsheffield4704]

Just needed a bigger hammer. Did you ever try the rosebud? Stainless steel threads are lousy in torsion. If I don’t need the corrosion resistance I stick with carbon steel. Pin was in there good.

[@AndrewDobek04]

Great video! Sledge hammer worked well for the job

[@farmhand3724]

Can't wait for the "put the pin back in" video.

[@bryanfelver6125]

In the future when removing a pin like that . You need to use a rose bug that you talked about. Heat both side up cherry red,let it cool. Once its back to normal temp. Heat both side and with the sled and a punch it will come right out. You will have a few minutes to work with it. Once the heat transfer to the pin , you have to let it cool and start back over.

[@tam1381]

Hey Pal that pin might be tappered ? Stainless steel thread bolt not a good choice Pal.

[@smusgrav]

Looks cold there! I wish I had that much hair!

[@WoodWorker-mp2il]

I’m having chest pain’s watching you swing that sledgehammer knowing there’s a better way! 🤣 good job though! 👍👍

[@livetooextreme]

What's the better way?

[@seminole715]

LOL, does the carpet match the rug? Thank you for the video!

It's the drapes pal... Does the carpet match the drapes.. And no.... It doesn't

[@grass-patch]

The pros probably use a press. I just wonder if heating while using an air hammer would have worked.

[@barrycavanaugh2937]

Use a grade 8 bolt, stainless is soft.

[@lawnrebel]

Couldn't find one with full length threads Looked high and low

[@barrycavanaugh2937]

@@lawnrebel , not sure what size threads you need on that bolt. Maybe a wheel bearing removal installing tool. That setup you had was working, that flat part bending is what strained the bolt. I have a bearing tool, it utilizes a thrust bearing under the bolt. It has different sized cups and a 1/2 thick cap. Google FWD bearing removal installation tool. Was a more popular tool years ago, now they all use use unitized bearing that bolt in. Mazda, ford, Subaru still use that press in style. Good luck bud, hope you’re done the job!

[@roberthooper8883]

Why did you take the bottom pin out? You could rebuild the orings with the tube still in place couldn't you?

[@bauminwi]

I can feel your pain as you go through this buddy. Ugg.

[@Earthau]

Take it to the Pro's Connor, pay them to do it and watch what they do for next time or work on your shed because Lawn Season is coming!

[@lettersandlove]

Always watch your wood when working on your pin.

[@leanderbarrie]

Stainless is to brittle for those type of jobs. Beter good steel( 8.8 or 10.4) but, good job😊🤙

[@sagmeister2234]

Just a thought. Maybe try the hairspray to remove the pins.

[@lawnrebel]

Lol.. Good idea

[@ngreed]

Never fun getting pins out. Are you taking the cylinder somewhere to be rebuilt or are you doing it yourself?

[@GW._.]

Air chisel maybe?

[@519VXComanche]

Ditch the stainless. It’s soft and galls terrible. Grade 8 steel and a good impact gun.

[@shmiggz]

Nothing like watching Connor pound his rod

[@leeweber85]

All the stress of removing the pin is giving you grey’s 😂

[@marshallhoux7987]

Why not just take it to a diesel repair shop and get it done by people who have the right equipment and get it back on the road because if it isn't working it's not making money for you

[@krisclayton6335]

It was the presence of duct tape that made it move.

It's true

[@2008fjr]

Hey bud, I don’t claim to be an expert here, but if you hit the pin with another steel pin, you risk swelling it and making it tighter. Most likely than pin will need to be tossed out & replaced. I’ll bet the truck shops are using a press to push the pins out. Gotta give you an E for the effort though.
